Premature birth is one of the most critical health challenges that mothers and infants may face, as babies born before completing 37 weeks of pregnancy are at higher risk of developing complications. At Almana Hospitals, we have established advanced Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) equipped with state-of-the-art technology and highly trained medical teams, dedicated to providing comprehensive care for premature babies.
Several factors may contribute to premature delivery, including:
Previous premature birth.
Multiple pregnancy (twins or more).
Maternal chronic diseases such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
Maternal infections.
Pregnancy at a very young age.
Unhealthy maternal lifestyle factors such as smoking or severe stress.
Placental abruption or uterine and cervical complications before term.
Because their vital organs are not fully developed, premature infants are more likely to experience:
Breathing difficulties.
Feeding and digestive problems.
Blood disorders such as anemia.
Weak gastrointestinal and immune functions.
The NICU at Almana Hospitals provides a safe and supportive environment for premature babies through:
Admission to a specialized intensive care unit equipped with the latest medical technologies.
Careful monitoring and regulation of body temperature.
Supplying necessary fluids and nutrition through IV solutions or feeding tubes when required.
Artificial ventilation support for babies with respiratory difficulties.
24/7 monitoring and care by highly skilled neonatologists and nursing staff.
At Almana Hospitals, we believe that every child deserves a safe and healthy start to life. We are committed to delivering the highest standard of neonatal care and to supporting families during this delicate stage.
Since our inception in 1949, we have a legacy of excellence. We are a family hospital fully dedicated to caring for the needs of the patients.
